Former President Donald Trump's racist attack on Vice President Kamala Harris, questioning her racial identity, has been condemned by the White House. Harris, the first Black and first Asian-American vice president, has gained momentum in the 2024 presidential race, leading Trump in key swing states.

She has also received the endorsement of the influential United Auto Workers union. Trump's comments overshadowed his campaign's attacks on Harris's immigration and ideology, drawing bipartisan criticism.

Meanwhile, Harris's campaign has energized Black grassroots organizers, with increased volunteer interest. Winning over Black voters is crucial for both candidates, as they make up a significant portion of the electorate in swing states.

Harris must now challenge Trump's attempts to position the GOP as the new working-class party and mobilize voters around class rather than race. While her campaign promises focus on economic issues, her well-to-do supporters' embrace of identity politics threatens to undermine her working-class appeal.

It remains to be seen how these dynamics will play out in the upcoming election.

Did Kamala Harris shy from her Black identity? Truth behind Trump claims

Politics
Trump questioned Kamala Harris's Black identity, claiming she "turned Black" for political gain after being "always of Indian heritage".
